[clc-devel] non-root users in .footprint
Hi all, especially the new maintainers :), the following ports contain non-root users in the footprint: xfce4-artwork xfce4-minicmd-plugin xfce4-netload-plugin xfce4-showdesktop-plugin xfce4-systemload-plugin Please correct this. If you build ports as a non-root user (this is what I prefer, because you see when buggy install scripts try to install directly in /usr/bin,...), you can check the port with the prtcheck scripts from the prt-utils package: ----------- sample session ----------- scott@host > pkgmk =======> ERROR: Footprint mismatch found: MISSING drwxr-xr-x root/root etc/ MISSING -rw-r--r-- root/root etc/prtwash.conf ... NEW drwxr-xr-x user/users etc/ NEW -rw-r--r-- user/users etc/prtwash.conf ... =======> ERROR: Building '/home...clc/prt-utils/prt-utils#0.5.1-1.pkg.tar.gz' failed. scott@host > pkgmk -uf =======> Footprint updated. scott@host > prtcheck ====> WARNING: non-root users found! ====> WARNING: run "prtcheck --root" to convert footprint scott@host > prtcheck --root scott@host > cvs diff .footprint scott@host > ----> NO FOOTPRINT DIFFERENCES, PORT OK! ----------- end sample session ----------- If the unpacked tar archive contains files with different uids or different gids (php 4.3.3 is such a buggy package) and the install routine does not change them to the executing user, then you have to insert a "chown -R root:root $PKG/" as the last line in your Pkgfile. The method shown above does not work in this case, because pkgmk fails: a non-root user cannot "chown root" files.
